I was having a hard time getting good bites the last couple days out this late fall. Tied one of these on and caught 3 bass off a marina on the Illinois River. All in 35 minutes after 2 hours of nothing prior to tying this on. I swear by these and all Berkley baits. They ALWAYS produce great results for me. Thanks Berkley.

I am from Jamaica, a little town called Black River. My friends and i have been using the 4'' and 3'' Firetiger swim shad to catch snook, more so the 4''. Let me tell you, we dont need any other bait for snook because it is the 'baddest' bait we have ever used. We swear by it. There is nothing like it. I have fishermen begging me to order packs for them. I recommend it to all my fishing buddies all over the island. If I had a thousand packs they would be all gone in a minute. Hmmm I need to get
... into the business. We loooove Mr Firetiger.

Love it

I have used the Pit Boss for a number of years and especially like the Papa size (5") fished texas rig. The 4" size I use as trailer on jigs. Was disappointed when the colors available were reduced though.

Used this bait all summer and caught a lot of fish. The bait holds up better than other creature baits on the market. And how can you beat the price. The colors are excellent too.

Awesome bait!

Just got on a lease with a pond on it. Was told if I want to catch anything I would have to use live bait. Picked these for the price and put them on my homemade Alabama rig and within a few casts, caught two, two pound bass in one cast! I have the pics to prove it. These are easy to rig, because of the grooves for the hooks. I would have bought more but only found the one package.

Great bait to get the Bass excited, this bait works great in all formats. I used tx rigged, wacky rigged, with a jig head and as a trailer on a 3/8 oz jig. The cane thumper really delivers in all aspects.

Dockside Matrix Shad

Baits look good, great colors and plenty of action. One of the best values out there for Speck and Redfish soft plastics. Wish more of the Academy stores would carry them in-house.

Matrix Shad

I've been using Matrix shad for over a year now on the Georgia Coast and it is the best paddle tail lure I've used and I've used them all. It has great tail action, is very tough, and very effective for trout, flounder and reds on the GA coast. My most productive colors are green hornet, lemon head, ultraviolet, and midnight express. I used it this afternoon and caught 11 trout on one green hornet lure and it's still fully functional for continued use.

Don't leave home without it !

There isn't a day I go out that I don't through the Craw Fatty. It has out performed my other soft baits and consistently produces larger bass. The colors are great and the body holds up on multiple catches. Terrific bait.

I just picked them up and its my first Berkley product that I've ever used. Great thing about this bait is that there is no wrong way to fish it. Buy some you won't be disappointed.

Fished the bluegrass on a 1/16 oz. chartreuse head for two days on Lake of Eygpt, IL. in Crappie USA tournament. We caught over 100 fish in two days. Weighed seven fish each day for total weight of 19.62 lbs. Great bait and tough. We were getting 8 to 10 fish from one bait.

I bought this pack of lures last month to replenish my supply. Since using this lure for the first time in March of this year, I haven't bought minnows ever again! Slabs love Monkey Milk by Bobby Garland!

I bought some of these after reading reviews. I figured I would keep them in my bag as backup when I have a few minutes to fish on my lunch break. I used them the other day at a small local reservoir and they were even better than I expected. I rigged them with a small adjustable round bobber small split shot and wire hook. I caught crappie and bluegill non stoo for an hour. I even had a pig of a bass that I hooked before it surfaced in a fallen tree and broke me off. Buy them! Fish them! You
... will be very happy.

So far I have caught bluegill, crappie, bass and northern on these crickets. I can't say they work better than live bait, but I did as well as my fishing mates who were using live bait. I put them on a small jig head and, using a bobber, reeled them in slowly,

I am in Southeast and fish for all kinds of fish including crappie, white bass, stripped bass, large mouth, etc. My favorite is crappie. I have used all kinds of crappie lures and Bobby Garland 2'' Baby Shad is my go to lure and Academy Sports and Outdoors is my first stop for it. Academy has frequent sales. The subtle action from the tiny tail of this lure works wonders. You can use it for gigging, swimming, shaking under the tiny float and crappie cannot resistant it. When I need a little more
... action and a slightly bigger meal for the crappie, it use this 2'' Slab Slay'R instead. My favorite colors are blue ice, monkey milk. Buy it and you won't be disappointed. It catches everything under the sun: crappie, sun fish, white bass and sometimes even large mouth.

I like using these along with the baby shads for crappie. I rig them on a 1/32 oz jig head under a float and fish the bluffs and tree tops with great success. Favorite color is blue ice.

After hearing good things about these I decided to buy a pack. I went to my local lake and wasn't having any luck for hours using various types of lures. I tied on one of these and caught four bass in 20 minutes, I was hooked. They could be more durable, but for the price it's hard to complain. Do not buy any other beaver type lure, these are the best.

Reaction innovations has hit a home run with this one. I've used these since they came out and they are deadly. Whether you split the tails or leave them in tact it don't matter. You will get twice the bite on these from other plastics.
I do agree with them being a little soft in the nose. But but if you rig them right with a good hook you will get more fish per bait.
However i have had some issue with academy sports quality control as of late. I ordered 3 bags of these and upon arrival at
... my house one of the packages was open and missing two of the baits. This is the first time I've had an issue with academy. So it's not to big of deal.

This frog is awesome

These frogs are good, they walk across the water easily and before you know it a fish is hitting your lure. The first day i bought the lure my first cast I hit a bass.

I bought 10 of these and only have five left because I was dumb for using 15 lb. monofilament. I now use 50 lb. braided and haven't lost another one yet. The bass over 5# just love this size frog When fishing the grass or pads you need to hang on because the strikes are explosive when they come.

I've been fishing under the lights at south padre island, arroyo city and port mansfield Texas. The simple fact that these lures are small, paddle tail and glow in the dark make them a threat to trout. All I do is cast far, reel high and fast. As soon as the lure hits the light stop and lower the rod tip. The fish get it on the drop. If not, count to three and again reel high and fast. then let it drop again. I use a d shock 6 1/2' spinning combo with 10 lb stren clear blue. Enjoy!

There is only one pond where I live, and it is so heavily fished. Every time I put on a Rattlesnake baby I can catch them all day! GrandeBass did an amazing job with the entire rattlesnake line of baits! My two favorite ways to fish these baits are on a Spot remover and weightless absolutely slays the bass!

Tried this in a late winter tournament on bass that where just mouthing the baits and it drew a more complete bite. Also seemed to work well in stained conditions.
